Our Foundation Degree and BA in Children’s Development and Learning have been running for over 10 years and have helped 100’s of people like you to advance their job prospects. Available to practitioners working with children aged birth to eleven, the courses lead on to a range of postgraduate options, including our Ofsted-acclaimed Postgraduate Certificate in Early Years Practice.
Attending university whilst earning means your work and studies are closely related. As one of our graduates said, “So much of the teaching is about reflection and improving on your practice.”
An early years teacher needs the highest level of communication skills, a wide spectrum of knowledge and a passion for social justice. It’s a really valuable and important role and is increasingly recognised as such. Research has shown the importance of children’s earliest educational experiences in relation to their chances in life and the impact that highly-qualified staff have on their growth and wellbeing.
One Early Years graduate described her career as “The most compelling job in the world.”
We hold regular, free sessions on Early Years careers and degrees here at the IoE’s London Road campus in central Reading. Our staff have a wealth of experience in nurturing the talent that lies in the children’s workforce. Come and meet our small, friendly team and find out more about what our programmes can offer you.
